in Garden design

hi,

I am trying to find out information relating to the arts and crafts movement in garden design. Obviously Gertrude jekyll'a name keeps popping up, but I am really looking for more specific details about the style. Does anybody know of good reference material I could look at. 

Thanks in advance

    I got this out of the library the other day:

    I haven't read it yet, but those Shire books are generally pretty good.

    im glad I saw this post as I live in a new build house on a small estate with house styles inspired  by the arts and craft movement. It would be a nice idea if I could plan the garden with that theme in mind. 

    Cheers!

    just invested in a copy myself after seeing LG the L’s post ?
